Shakespeare's Elizabethan audience created what the setting looked like in their minds by listening to the elaborate description ... the characters can express themselves openly without the other person hearing them. An example of this is when Romeo idolises Juliet as the sun," It is the east and Juliet is the sun". This is very descriptive and...

... Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo," is one of the many magnificent lines from William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet.
